3800480 - Transfer Deferred Tax app shows unexpected sign for a credit memo posting when interpreting clearing amounts - sap s/4hana cloud public edition

• In the Transfer Deferred Tax app (S_AC0_52000644), the proposal shows an unexpected sign in the field LC Cleared Amount for a credit memo posting during transfer of deferred tax.
• The credit memo is expected to appear with a negative amount in the proposal.
• No error messages are displayed.

• SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

1. Open the Transfer Deferred Tax app.
2. Run the selection for the relevant company code and posting date range
3. Analyse the results in the output of the run or proposal list output.
4. Not for a credit memo that the value in field LC Cleared Amount is not negative for a credit memo posting

• The perceived discrepancy arises from focusing on the “LC Cleared Amount” instead of the tax amount columns in the Transfer Deferred Tax output.
• The deferred tax transfer logic essentially treats invoices and credit memos similarly. Credit memo tax amounts are the opposite sign of the related invoice, as expected in contrast to Clearing amounts. 

1. Run the Transfer Deferred Tax in for the relevant period.
2. Review the tax amount columns (typically on the right side of the output after changing layout with Ctrl + F8) to validate signs and amounts; for credit memos, tax amounts should be the opposite sign of the corresponding invoice tax amounts.
